Yoga: The Path to Enlightenment

Yet, the path takes great patience, as there will appear to be many ups and down as you access different levels of your unconsciousness and ignorance. To succeed in this quest it takes great conviction and faith as well. Your progress is proportional to the efforts you give it. Give a little, an hour or two a week and receive a little. Give a lot, an hour or two a day and receive an abundant return. Connect to a group of like minded individuals (sang) who are actively engaged in this Higher Knowledge of Self (sat)(thereby satsang) and you will progress faster than you might imagine. I am always warmed by the wonderful stories of spiritual unfoldment I hear each week at satsang which, I conduct before meditation. In fact, the ancient scriptures remind us that satsang (a group coming together to listen to and imbibe the Higher Knowledge of Self) may be the most important aspect of yoga of all, perhaps the roots of the tree itself. The power of a group sharing in the quest for enlightenment is one of the great jewels Buddha reminded us of, community.

I hope I have deepened your understanding of this magnificent path, a quest for enlightenment, and stand ready, at any time to be of help in enabling you to further your success. Feel free to e-mail me at Quantum Healing at www.spiritgrowth.com for comments or questions. Enjoy your journey.
